## What git-sync does, in the publisher's words

Brings the current branch up to date with its upstream before the agent starts work, so it never edits or reviews code against a stale base.

The fast-forward-sync skill runs at the start of a task in a git repository. It fetches, compares the branch with its upstream, and fast-forwards only when the branch is strictly behind. It never merges, rebases, stashes or resets.

## Skills

- fast-forward-sync: Use when starting work on a task inside a git repository, checks whether the current branch is behind its upstream and can be fast-forwarded without conflicts, and fast-forwards it before any work begins.
